What is the energy transfer in a nuclear reactor?
the controlled release of nuclear energy in a reactor is accomplished
The controlled release of nuclear energy in a reactor is accomplished by?
fission
How is the controlled release of nuclear energy in a reactor accomplished?
controlling a chain reaction
What is split in a nuclear reactor to release energy?
The nucleus (nuclei) of uranium-235 or plutonium-239
Are nuclear reactors and nuclear power plants the same?
Not really. It depends on what you are trying to do. A nuclear power plant is a power plant that uses a nuclear reactor as its source of energy. A nuclear reactor, on the other hand, is a more generalized term for a device that uses nuclear energy (specifically the release of binding energy from the Strong Atomic Force) to do something. In the general case, we use the reactor to generate energy for the power plant to use in generating electricity. Sometimes, we use the reactor for other, research type things, such as generating a neutron flux to study the physics of nuclide activation.

The contolled release of nuclear energy in reactor is accomplished by?
Nuclear energy is released during: fission radioactive decay man-induced splitting of atoms
What accomplishes the release of the nuclear energy in a reactor?
neutron chain reaction
In what production is a reactor and uranium used in?
A nuclear reactor is a plant which deliver electricity and (or) heat.The function principle is the release of energy from nuclear fission of fissile materials as the isotope uranium-235.

How is heat generated inside a nuclear reactor?
Heat is generated inside a nuclear reactor by the release of binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) by the process of fission (splitting one atom into two) or fusion (combining two atoms into one).
Does the atomic bomb produce more energythan a nuclear reactor?
That would depend on the yield of the bomb, the power rating of the reactor, and the lifetime of the reactor. Bombs release all their energy in microseconds, reactors take years or decades.
How are the Chernobyl explosion and Japanese earthquake alike?
The both ultimately resulted in the release of radioactive material from a nuclear reactor into the environment.
